Re: Gloriana

Hmmm...I much prefer Gloria. Gloria is sweeter than Gloriana, which sounds overblown. "Too much name", as they say.

But....Gloriana would be honoring Elizabeth I, whereas Gloria would not. As someone pointed out, Elizabeth itself would be passed over in favor of Gloriana, because Elizabeth is so common that its honoring purpose would not be as readily apparent as Gloriana's would.
I just thought Gloria, being a shortened version of Gloriana, would also work. Guess not. :)
